Projects

This proposed project aims to develop a novel, efficient, and cost-effective Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production process by directly reacting DME with fossil refinery cuts, reducing conversion steps, and lowering CAPEX and OPEX. The project will assess the technology's potential for GHG emission reduction and its alignment with Qatar's 2050 net-zero emission goals, contributing to the country's future as a sustainable aviation hub.

This project aims to drive clean fuel innovation by developing a breakthrough Lower Carbon Aviation Fuel (LCAF) solution that integrates COâ‚‚ capture, renewable hydrogen, and methanation, offering a scalable and cost-effective pathway for aviation decarbonization. Additionally, it focuses on industrial decarbonization by enabling closed-loop carbon recycling for furnaces and boilers, significantly reducing emissions in the refining, steel, and petrochemical industries through the use of green methane as a drop-in fuel. The project has a multi-sector impact, fostering large-scale industrial decarbonization while ensuring scalability, water efficiency, and economic viability. Ultimately, it aims to reduce emissions across multiple industries while enhancing overall industrial efficiency and sustainability.

This project focuses on upgrading natural gas into sustainable fuels and chemicals to drive economic diversification and maximize resource utilization. It addresses key challenges in methane reforming, such as high energy demand and catalyst deactivation, while developing scalable and sustainable reforming processes. Additionally, the project explores alternative technologies for gas valorization to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
